That's certainly a fine concept; it's just not implemented that way at present, AFAICT. You can file an enhancement request on http://b.android.com, where it will be added to a large pile of enhancement requests, bug reports, and the like, that slowly get worked through. In fact, it is the size of that pile, and many of the items on that pile, that caused me to react as described below. > Though I don't agree with your opinions > and it the tone of your response seemed a bit condescending (which may > have just been misread), the information you provided did help me > understand a little more about how Android is set up. Bear in mind that I was replying to: >>> That is a very poor/disappointing decision by OS designers that really >>> limits the possibilities of the phone.... That is, IMHO, a completely over-the-top depiction of the situation. That being said, I apologize for any condescension. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
